7 • Positioning the bead breaker disc (fig.28)
- Lower the bead breaker disc (control 1) (A) until it is level with the well of the rim and
make enough room for the clamp to be inserted.
8 • Mounting the top bead (fig.29)
- Fit the clamp 1 in the space created by the bead breaker disc.
- Start rotation (pedal 2) to mount the bead until the clamp is close to the tool.
- For large (over 19") or particularly tough wheels a second clamp may be useful.
- Apply more pressure to the tyre and move the tool head to the rest position.
- Start rotation again (pedal 2) until the clamp 1 is close to the bead breaker disc and
remove the clamp 1.
- When mounting is complete, raise the bead breaker disc.
9 • Move the bead breaker unit to the rest position
10• Tyre inflation (fig.31)
- For inflation, see "INFLATION" section
11 • Releasing the wheel from the turntable (fig.32)
- Undo the device by turning the handles 1 anti-clockwise.
- Press the retainers 2 and move the centring cone away from the rim by hand.
- Turn the clamping device anti-clockwise to release it from the turntable.
- Remove the device from the rim.
12 • Unloading the tyre (fig.33)
- Lower the wheel lift (pedal 1) and position the wheel on it by hand.
- Lower the lift (pedal 2).
- Remove the wheel from the lift.
"EXTRAORDINARY" MOUNTING
- One variation of the mounting procedure explained above may be adopted in case of
rims with very small or non-existent drop centre (fig.8a). In these exceptional cases, the
mounting procedure can be facilitated by using a variant of the normal procedure.
- The first bead is mounted in the usual way. To mount the second bead, position the
mobile tool as during the demounting search stage (fig.18).
- This reduces the stresses, leaving more space for the tyre. The following operations
illustrated from fig.29 onward remain unchanged.
